Local bartender Donald Carruthers has spent the past month hosting trivia nights and pool competition fundraisers and even dyed his hair blue to raise awareness. He was thrilled to raise $1400 so far, just $100 shy of his goal.
Kicking off at the Imperial Hotel at 10am, the riders will travel to pubs in Emmaville, Deepwater and Glen Innes, playing hands of poker at each.
Co-hosted by the Viking Breed Social Motorcycle Club, all vehicles from the shiniest Harley Davidson to the dustiest postie bike are welcome. Donald will drive a ‘break down ute’ in case any bike loses its puff.
The $25 entry fee will go towards Beyond Blue along with 10 per cent of Deepwater Inn takings during the group’s visit. Sign on is at 8am on Saturday morning.
The day will finish at the Imperial with live entertainment from the Joeys OZ World Music Tour and a mega raffle from 6.30pm. Anyone is welcome to come along.
